Abstract

This article analyses unemployment protection for platform workers and the self-employed in Hungary. Hungarian legislation lacks a separate, well-designed system for the self-employed and platform workers, who consequently fall under the general unemployment scheme. The Hungarian unemployment scheme is fundamentally a compulsory, Bismarckian-type of unemployment insurance financed by contributions, which acts as compensation for loss of work. The Hungarian legislation also contains a system of services and subsidies that could be considered as a separate protection scheme also addressing unemployment. In this case, the protection provided compensates absence of work, rather than a lack of work. This contribution presents the protection available under Hungarian law for the self-employed and platform workers, via an in-depth analysis of the entitlement conditions, contribution base, and the amount, duration and financing of the unemployment benefit. In this paper we also highlight the difficulties and consequences of the taxation regime for the self-employed and platform workers. As they can pay contributions based on favourable tax rules, these lower social security contributions result in lower unemployment benefits.

匈牙利对自营职业者和平台工人的失业保护
本文分析了匈牙利对平台工人和自营职业者的失业保护。匈牙利立法没有为自营职业者和平台工人单独设计完善的制度,因此他们属于一般失业计划的范围。匈牙利的失业计划从根本上说是一种强制性的、俾斯麦式的失业保险,由缴费资助,作为对失去工作的补偿。匈牙利立法还包含一个服务和补贴制度,可被视为一个单独的保护计划,也解决失业问题。在这种情况下,所提供的保护是对没有工作的补偿,而不是对没有工作的补偿。本文通过深入分析失业救济金的领取条件、缴费基数、金额、期限和资金来源,介绍了匈牙利法律为自营职业者和平台工作者提供的保护。在本文中,我们还强调了税收制度给自营职业者和平台工作者带来的困难和后果。由于他们可以根据优惠的税收规则缴费,这些较低的社会保障缴费导致了较低的失业救济金。
